that tropical storm which is has made landfall over central vietnam yesterday. it's over laos. take a look what happened across the city of da nang. the severe tropical storm came ashore. the high winds threw people off their bikes and caused coastal damage to buildings. mountains inland helped trigger many amounts of rainfall. all schools in the city have been closed today. people were seen pulling boats out of the water. it's not a good idea to be out venturing out in the water and ships should be docked today. three meter high waves will be affecting parts of the south china sea. not a good idea to be venturing out in the waters. wind gusts reaching 90 kilometers per hours. it has picked up 25 kilometers per hour. so you're likely to see the stormy conditions anywhere in the path and surrounding areas because the southwestern monsoonal flow has been activated from this system. drops of water about 120 millimeters. in addition to what we have seen in the past few days. that tropical depression has been lingering over the south china sea. there is another tropi

bobby kennedy said i will just get out of vietnam. i don't think he would have been i don't think he could have. you have 550,000 men there come a don't just get on a plane and fly home so there are a lot of arguments on this whole subject that i don't think nixon was out out -- i think the war was that it was a hello of a problem. when i read about it i struggled in my own mind to think how could this have been different and how could they have done it smarter and better? cambodia was a mistake but it was a hello of a problem. he inherited a war with half a million men but the fierce enemy who weren't going to give up no matter what and uncertain ally. ask president obama about how hard it is to deal with an uncertain ally. >> acuvue the charges by hitchens that henry and next included when peace talks were about to happen in 68 with johnson and they colluded? >> it's a little complicated so bear with me for one second. in 1968 nixon is running against humphrey and do not sober of 1968 president johnson decides to go for peace talks
